问题     (1) BANGKOK — Thai police arrested a second foreign suspect in the country’s deadliest bombing on Tuesday and said they believed he played an important role, but could not confirm he was the man seen in a yellow T-shirt leaving a backpack at the scene of the blast.
    (2) The Aug. 17 explosion ripped through a Hindu shrine in the Thai capital, killing 20 people and injuring more than 100.
    (3) Fourteen foreigners were among those who died in the attack, which the military government said was aimed at an already ailing economy.
    (4) The man was also believed to have played a role in a smaller explosion in Bangkok on the day after the bombing at the shrine, Thai police spokesman Prawut Thawornsiri told reporters.
    (5) "From all the evidence we have, the man arrested was an important member of the group that planted the two bombs in Bangkok," Prawut said.
    (6) But he could not confirm if the arrested man was the chief suspect seen on grainy security footage dropping off a backpack at the shrine and leaving before the bomb went off. He said the man "looked like" the chief suspect.
    (7) A picture of a passport circulated on social media, identifying the arrested man as being from the Chinese region of Xinjiang, home to Muslim Uighurs, but Prawut said that picture had not been released by the government and he did not know where it had come from.
    (8) The arrest came after security forces detained another foreign suspect in weekend raids on the outskirts of Bangkok, in which they also found explosives.
    (9) The man arrested on Tuesday was detained in Sa Kaeo Province to the east of the capital near the Cambodian border. He has been transferred to Bangkok for questioning.
    (10) Police issued three more arrest warrants on Tuesday for foreign male suspects, Prawut said, adding that one of them may be Turkish.
    (11) Police also said they had transferred 22 officers from their posts for negligence. The transfers came just a day after the police chief promised a reward to investigators for making the first arrest.
    (12) Police have been criticized for an erratic investigation, which had made little progress until the weekend. Police issued arrest warrants for a Thai woman and a foreign man on Monday.
    (13) The woman, Wanna Suansuant, has contacted authorities and would meet police, Somyot said on Tuesday. He gave no details.
    (14) Her family told police on Monday she travelled to Turkey to work with her partner and child two to three months ago.
    (15) Thai authorities have been looking into a possible Turkish connection. Fake Turkish passports were seized and police requested a Turkish translator to assist in questioning the 28-year-old man they arrested on Saturday.
    (16) The authorities have not confirmed his identity or nationality. He is charged with possessing illegal explosives.
    (17) Speculation has centred on sympathizers of Uighur Muslims, opponents of the government, southern ethnic Malay rebels and foreign extremists, among other groups.
Which of the following has not been speculated as being responsible for the explosion?
选项 A、Thai nationalists.
